What's the difference between a fireplace contractor and a showroom?

A showroom sells appliances; a licensed contractor installs them legally and safely. In North Carolina, connecting a fireplace to gas requires a licensed contractor, so a showroom-only purchase still leaves you hunting for one. We do both — sell and install — as one accountable company.

Does a fireplace contractor pull the permit?

Yes. We pull the required permit with your county, build to code, and meet the inspector. Permitted, inspected work protects your home and keeps your homeowner's insurance valid. Questions about your project? Call (828) 545-0525.

Can one contractor handle the appliance, gas, and stonework?

Yes, and that's the advantage. We handle the appliance, venting, and the licensed gas connection in-house, and coordinate the surround finish, so you deal with one company instead of stitching a project across three trades.

Professional Fireplace Contractor in Asheville & Western NC

Hiring a fireplace contractor should mean one accountable company stands behind the entire project — not a firebox from one seller, a mason for the stonework, and a scramble to find someone licensed to make it burn. Steady Flame Fireplaces has been that contractor for Western North Carolina since 2005: a family-owned, NFI-certified, licensed gas outfit that carries a hearth project from first sketch to final inspection. Because a fireplace ties together an appliance, a venting system, a fuel connection, and county code, it rewards a single license-holder who owns all of it.

What a Contractor Owns

As your contractor we assess the space, recommend the right appliance for your fuel and layout, run and pressure-test the gas line, build the venting to the manufacturer's listing, and pull the permit with Buncombe, Henderson, Haywood, or Transylvania county. That accountability separates a licensed contractor from a retailer — we're on the hook for the whole install being safe, code-compliant, and warrantied, and for the backup-heat appliance still working when a WNC storm cuts the power.
